Basic Auth using jscript helpers

V5 Question

Confusing at first I know. Look at what Emre says and what Paul did to get it to work …

function sendWebCli(){
  var lib = host.lib("System");
  var client = new lib.System.Net.WebClient();
  // return client.DownloadString('https://www.goggle.com');
  
  client.Headers.Add("Content Type", "application/json");
  // client.Headers.Add(<more header stuff like maybe auth>);

  var url = "https://api.blah.com/v1/access";

  var data = 'some formatted data, like json';

  var result = client.UploadString(url,data);
  client.Dispose();
}

For example, when we do GQL Auth using jQuery AJAX, we set up authorization parameters in the header and data, like this:

	jQuery.ajax({
	'type': 'POST',
	'url': aurl,
	cache:false,
	headers: {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
	data: $.param({grant_type:'password', username:user, password:password, client_id:clientId, client_secret:clientSecret, device_id:deviceId})
	})
	.done(function d(response){
             .........
     })
	.fail(function f(response){
             .........
     });
